| Sumario: | In implementing the Paris Agreement and Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at the Conference of Parties (COP23), adopted a Gender Action Plan, which would be integrated into Parties Climate Action i.e. the Paris Agreement. For a more holistic climate action, it is important that Nigeria has a unified voice on gender and climate change issues.
To domesticate the Gender Action Plan, there is a need to develop a National Gender Action Plan (GAP) that takes into consideration our national circumstances. This document would serve as a guide in mainstreaming gender into climate change plans and programs. A draft GAP was developed in 2016 and a workshop for the Review and Validation of Nigeria’s Climate Change Gender Action Plan held on the 30th November, 2018.
